Game not played on paper. We have fair line at 8. Utah finally gets their secondary healthy and starting together. They are a different beast at home and we get an extra 4 pts IMO off last wks loss to Az St....USC has the horses but are they 15+ better on the road? Utah QB change is actually better than perceived as Wynn was beyond brutal and had the arm strength of Betty White.

E Carolina +11.5

This isnt your daddy's Pirate team.....D looks good....teams are very similar with suspect QB play and Ds that are playing well 11.5 pts seems like a lot in a conference game and UCF coming off disappointing loss in a game they could have won....Pirates won a game at SMiss which is never easy then came home off 3 road games to beat UTEP who hung with Wisconsin....Game within a TD going into 4th Q and then who knows.

Fresh off the PAC12 MOB GAME OF THE YR which was a MEGALOCKS STEAM PLAY luckbox winner .....Funny how the total accidentally went up late in the Utah game AND USC accidentally gave up 14 free pts AND how USC accidentally gave up a miracle TD at the end to help us get the cash....Always good to be on the same side as the MOB and last night it was Utah . Very fortunate.

This HOT CARL special is tasty.......

Florida +3 -130

We just post picks and rationale and let you guys decide how much to play on it - or fade it.....We dont post 729483709245234 star unit plays or prime picks but FWIW this is our fav play of the year so far....We have it the fair line at a pick em at WORST....really could argue the wrong team is favored in this one....LSU will probably be much better than they are now within 3-4 wks but right now Florida is probably the 3rd best team behind Bama and Oregon....That is how MEGALOCKS staff member HOT CARL sees this one.

Wont be a popular one. Forget the Pitt games vs Cincy and VT. They cancel each other out. Also Pitt's game vs Y St was over a month ago so really who cares? All Syracuse has done this yr is lose close games to FBS teams. Gonna keep this simple.

Florida is the 3rd best team behind Alabama and Oregon??? Not sure if serious. Guess I missed the game where they actually played a good team to prove themselves. Not trying to talk junk either, always check out your thread and respect your picks. Just wondering about that statement.Good luck this weekend

On a neutral site right now - we think Florida would beat any team other than Alabama and Oregon. Usually we steer clear of saying this team is better this conference is better...etc...but our opinion is that there is probably a 7 way tie or so for 3rd best in the NCAA and Florida is one of those teams at the least. Seeing the way their D, QB and 2nd half coaching has been - hard to see it any other way.Nobody has played anyone yet or proven themselves. Nobody really has a quality win yet do they?

Alabama

Oregon

Tie for 3rd

Florida

in no order

S Carolina

Texas

W Virginia

Florida St

USC

Anyone else? Thx for the comment - have no problem discussing what we post Florida's road win at Tex AM is pretty solid IMO. GL this wk bud

Think UF would have trouble scoring on quite a few teams in the top 10: Notre Dame, KState, Sakerlina, FSU...and their pass rush has been fairly unimpressive for a team loaded with 10* high school recruits

This toe-sucking, goat porn distributor is not bold enough for your Hot Carl play But BOL Mega!

BYUs D is officially sick Any time you give up 7 vs Boise followed by shutting out anyone in conjunction with allowing less than 2 ypc and less than 4 yds/play on the seasonone has to run to the windows and get down ....BYU will run as well especially if their freak QB plays and Utah St stingy enough to keep the total possessions per team down.....Couldn't decide whether to go under for the game (46) or this but ultimately feel BYU will shut things down and if Utah St gets over 20 the total probably goes over anyway as we are in the minority and see a BYU victory that will be easier than expected.
